Greetings to everyone!!! Going from release candidate to full release requires the system to be formally tested by at least two or more implementations. https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Release+Process So please help us release 1.9 soon by either:
1. Download<https://modules.openmrs.org/modules/view.jsp?module=releasetestinghelper>and install the Release Testing Helper module<https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Release+Testing+Helper+Module>(temporarily) on the *production machine* that contains the database you want to test the new OpenMRS version against. 2. Get a standalone<https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmrs/files/prereleases/OpenMRS_1.9.0_RC3/>version of the OpenMRS version you would like to test. (You can run this anywhere that can access your production machine via the network.) 3. The first time you run the standalone, choose the *Expert Mode*option, and then the *Testing* installation type. Enter the URL of your production server, plus a username and password for a user on that server. At this point the new OpenMRS will automatically fetch 100 patients worth of data from your production machine, as well as all its module omod files. Details can be found at: https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Release+Testing+Helper+Module *OR* Download<https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmrs/files/prereleases/OpenMRS_1.9.0_RC3/>the war file and upgrade your OpenMRS in a test environment as per the details at: https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Upgrading+OpenMRS *Then report back about successes or failures.* Thanks again for your great contribution!!!!
